Did anyone apply to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office's mass recruitment drive for Administrative Officer (AO), Executive Officer (EO) and Higher Executive Officer (HEO) roles advertised in February?
I believe the deadline was extended for some/all of the roles into early March. Just wondering whether anyone has heard anything back and how you've found the process so far.

It was a huge campaign and then the Ukraine stuff started so I imagine there will be large delays with this one. Good luck to all who applied!

Hi guys,
I am seeking some support around HEO behaviors, is anyone willing to share some examples just to have an idea? I am happy to exchange skills and ideas - I am a qualified personal trainer

Just got a rejection from the AO role. I'm an HEO in an OGD, so I was hoping for interview practice, but still a bit miffed. Guess it doesn't bode well for my other applications.
I'd be interested to hear from anyone who gets through the sift.

Out of interest, what's an OGD, and did you apply for the EO and HEO roles too given that you're already an HEO?

I got an e-mail from FCDO on Thursday, saying how the process has been delayed but that they expect to confirm outcomes in the near future. Does anyone have an idea on how long FCDO usually take in their recruitment cycles?

Have been offered an interview for one of the AO roles, but received basically no info on what it will entail, other than that the listed competencies would be assessed. They didn't provide an email address to contact anyone either.
Also applied for the EO and HEO positions and got the email about those being delayed.

I don't think that the delays are location-specific, I had an AO interview earlier in the week and they said that they had received 9k applications across the 3 sets of vacancies so I reckon it's more to do with that.

Has anyone else been invited for an interview this morning? I’ve tried to book a slot but there are none available and the instruction is to keep trying. Also unsure what the format is of the interview? Whether it the “intray exercise” and then a full competency interview.? Anyone else in a similar situation. Thanks

I guess we just have to keep trying. I think the email said they would be in contact when more slots were available .

Interview slots were available for Mon-Thur next week (25th-28th). I waited to speak to my manager and agree a day that I could take off and when I went back an hour later they were all gone. Hopefully more come up for next week because the following week is going to be very busy for me.
